I\n restored the PG_mlocked flag to eliminate the new\n count field.\n\n2) add the mlock/unevictable infrastructure to mm/mlock.c,\n with internal APIs in mm/internal.h. This is a rework\n of Nick\u0027s original patch to these files, taking into\n account that mlocked pages are now kept on unevictable\n LRU list.\n\n3) update vmscan.c:page_evictable() to check PageMlocked()\n and, if vma passed in, the vm_flags. Note that the vma\n will only be passed in for new pages in the fault path;\n and then only if the \"cull unevictable pages in fault\n path\" patch is included.\n\n4) add try_to_unlock() to rmap.c to walk a page\u0027s rmap and\n ClearPageMlocked() if no other vmas have it mlocked.\n Reuses as much of try_to_unmap() as possible. This\n effectively replaces the use of one of the lru list links\n as an mlock count. If this mechanism let\u0027s pages in mlocked\n vmas leak through w/o PG_mlocked set [I don\u0027t know that it\n does], we should catch them later in try_to_unmap().

This\ndebug hack was fine for temporary use, but far from a mergeable solution due\nto the intrusiveness into the timer code.\n\nThe code further lacked the ability to detect and report the root cause\ninstantly and keep the system operational.\n\nKeeping the system operational is important to get hold of the debug\ninformation without special debugging aids like serial consoles and special\nknowledge of the bug reporter.\n\nThe problems described above are not restricted to timers, but timers tend to\nexpose it usually in a full system crash. Other objects are less explosive,\nbut the symptoms caused by such mistakes can be even harder to debug.\n\nInstead of creating specialized debugging code for the timer subsystem a\ngeneric infrastructure is created which allows developers to verify their code\nand provides an easy to enable debug facility for users in case of trouble.\n\nThe debugobjects core code keeps track of operations on static and dynamic\nobjects by inserting them into a hashed list and sanity checking them on\nobject operations and provides additional checks whenever kernel memory is\nfreed.\n\nThe tracked object operations are:\n- initializing an object\n- adding an object to a subsystem list\n- deleting an object from a subsystem list\n\nEach operation is sanity checked before the operation is executed and the\nsubsystem specific code can provide a fixup function which allows to prevent\nthe damage of the operation. When the sanity check triggers a warning message\nand a stack trace is printed.\n\nThe list of operations can be extended if the need arises. For now it\u0027s\nlimited to the requirements of the first user (timers).\n\nThe core code enqueues the objects into hash buckets. The hash index is\ngenerated from the address of the object to simplify the lookup for the check\non kfree/vfree. Each bucket has it\u0027s own spinlock to avoid contention on a\nglobal lock.\n\nThe debug code can be compiled in without being active. The runtime overhead\nis minimal and could be optimized by asm alternatives. A kernel command line\noption enables the debugging code.\n\nThanks to Ingo Molnar for review, suggestions and cleanup patches.\n\nSigned-off-by: Thomas Gleixner \u003ctglx@linutronix.de\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Ingo Molnar \u003cmingo@elte.hu\u003e\nCc: Greg KH \u003cgreg@kroah.com\u003e\nCc: Randy Dunlap \u003crandy.dunlap@oracle.com\u003e\nCc: Kay Sievers \u003ckay.sievers@vrfy.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "a41f24ea9fd6169b147c53c2392e2887cc1d9247", "tree": "e6cf79a82f6516a30731f7dec7ed5d76466bb350", "parents": [ "ab857d09386661145924c9403792234aeca4bdff" ], "author": { "name": "Nishanth Aravamudan", "email": "nacc@us.ibm.com", "time": "Tue Apr 29 00:58:25 2008 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@linux-foundation.org", "time": "Tue Apr 29 08:05:58 2008 -0700" }, "message": "page allocator: smarter retry of costly-order allocations\n\nBecause of page order checks in __alloc_pages(), hugepage (and similarly\nlarge order) allocations will not retry unless explicitly marked\n__GFP_REPEAT. However, the current retry logic is nearly an infinite\nloop (or until reclaim does no progress whatsoever). For these costly\nallocations, that seems like overkill and could potentially never\nterminate. Mel observed that allowing current __GFP_REPEAT semantics for\nhugepage allocations essentially killed the system. I believe this is\nbecause we may continue to reclaim small orders of pages all over, but\nnever have enough to satisfy the hugepage allocation request. This is\nclearly only a problem for large order allocations, of which hugepages\nare the most obvious (to me).\n\nModify try_to_free_pages() to indicate how many pages were reclaimed.\nUse that information in __alloc_pages() to eventually fail a large\n__GFP_REPEAT allocation when we\u0027ve reclaimed an order of pages equal to\nor greater than the allocation\u0027s order. This relies on lumpy reclaim\nfunctioning as advertised. Due to fragmentation, lumpy reclaim may not\nbe able to free up the order needed in one invocation, so multiple\niterations may be requred. In other words, the more fragmented memory\nis, the more retry attempts __GFP_REPEAT will make (particularly for\nhigher order allocations).\n\nThis changes the semantics of __GFP_REPEAT subtly, but *only* for\nallocations \u003e PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER. With this patch, for those size\nallocations, we will try up to some point (at least 1\u003c\u003corder reclaimed\npages), rather than forever (which is the case for allocations \u003c\u003d\nPAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER).\n\nThis change improves the /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages interface with a\nfollow-on patch that makes pool allocations use __GFP_REPEAT. Rather\nthan administrators repeatedly echo\u0027ing a particular value into the\nsysctl, and forcing reclaim into action manually, this change allows for\nthe sysctl to attempt a reasonable effort itself. Similarly, dynamic\npool growth should be more successful under load, as lumpy reclaim can\ntry to free up pages, rather than failing right away.\n\nChoosing to reclaim only up to the order of the requested allocation\nstrikes a balance between not failing hugepage allocations and returning\nto the caller when it\u0027s unlikely to every succeed. Because of lumpy\nreclaim, if we have freed the order requested, hopefully it has been in\nbig chunks and those chunks will allow our allocation to succeed. If\nthat isn\u0027t the case after freeing up the current order, I don\u0027t think it\nis likely to succeed in the future, although it is possible given a\nparticular fragmentation pattern.\n\nSigned-off-by: Nishanth Aravamudan \u003cnacc@us.ibm.com\u003e\nCc: Andy Whitcroft \u003capw@shadowen.org\u003e\nTested-by: Mel Gorman \u003cmel@csn.ul.ie\u003e\nCc: Dave Hansen \u003chaveblue@us.ibm.com\u003e\nCc: Christoph Lameter \u003cclameter@sgi.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "ab857d09386661145924c9403792234aeca4bdff", "tree": "02027a87f919d721615664910b415f21bd88e9c5", "parents": [ "86051ca5eaf5e560113ec7673462804c54284456" ], "author": { "name": "Nishanth Aravamudan", "email": "nacc@us.ibm.com", "time": "Tue Apr 29 00:58:23 2008 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@linux-foundation.org", "time": "Tue Apr 29 08:05:58 2008 -0700" }, "message": "mm: fix misleading __GFP_REPEAT related comments\n\nThe definition and use of __GFP_REPEAT, __GFP_NOFAIL and __GFP_NORETRY in the\ncore VM have somewhat differing comments as to their actual semantics.\nAnnoyingly, the flags definition has inline and header comments, which might\nbe interpreted as not being equivalent.

The\nsecond contains all populated zones in the node suitable for GFP_THISNODE\nallocations.\n\nAn iterator macro is introduced called for_each_zone_zonelist() that interates\nthrough each zone allowed by the GFP flags in the selected zonelist.\n\nSigned-off-by: Mel Gorman \u003cmel@csn.ul.ie\u003e\nAcked-by: Christoph Lameter \u003cclameter@sgi.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Lee Schermerhorn \u003clee.schermerhorn@hp.com\u003e\nCc: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki \u003ckamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com\u003e\nCc: Mel Gorman \u003cmel@csn.ul.ie\u003e\nCc: Christoph Lameter \u003cclameter@sgi.com\u003e\nCc: Hugh Dickins \u003chugh@veritas.com\u003e\nCc: Nick Piggin \u003cnickpiggin@yahoo.com.au\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "18ea7e710d2452fa726814a406779188028cf1bf", "tree": "dfa439770b4344ade1ad8bd4fe70920ad66ee064", "parents": [ "0e88460da6ab7bb6a7ef83675412ed5b6315d741" ], "author": { "name": "Mel Gorman", "email": "mel@csn.ul.ie", "time": "Mon Apr 28 02:12:14 2008 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@linux-foundation.org", "time": "Mon Apr 28 08:58:18 2008 -0700" }, "message": "mm: remember what the preferred zone is for zone_statistics\n\nOn NUMA, zone_statistics() is used to record events like numa hit, miss and\nforeign.
